About Raise Texas

The RAISE Texas Pledge We pledge to work over the next yearto build a savings revolution in Texas that helps families SAVE:• for emergencies instead of going to payday lenders • for purchases that build assets • for their children’s completed college education • for a comfortable retirement, and • to become more financially successful.

Financial Education, Financial Accounts and Related Services: RAISE Texas is excited that the Governor signed one bill into law, but disappointed that the Governor vetoed a bill that would have encouraged savings. Visit our Texas Legislation page to view the list of all of the bills we tracked this session.

Payday, Auto Title, and Consumer Loans Regulations: RAISE Texas monitored the progress of over 25 bills this session to regulate consumer loans, and two bills on potential pre-emption including payday and auto title local ordinances. None of the bills passed the legislature this session.
